The alloying of copper to produce bronze represents a significant step forward in metallurgical practice: the resulting alloy is both stronger and less brittle than copper alone.

    Reincarnation is a common belief in the eastern part of the world, with Buddhism as well as Hinduism, supporting the idea of rebirth. In Hinduism each person has an essential self which is called the Atman, and is eternal and seeks unity with God. At physical death, the Atman leaves the body and enters another at birth. The physical body is gone but the Atman remains the same. The status of the body that the Atman re-enters is depended on whether in the previous life the person was morally good or bad, if good it will be in a higher status body, and if bad will be in a lower status body. This cycle of rebirth, birth and death is called Karma which Buddhism also follows, except they do not believe in a soul, but instead the five skandhas which are woven together and make a person attract karma. These two religions are heavily followed in the eastern part of the world and so therefore it may be argued that because it is an accepted belief it is therefore normal to believe in such an idea, however in the western part of the world where religions such as Christianity are followed it is not as accepted. Some would also question the fairness of suffering in this life for something in a past life which they cannot remember and that punishment doesn’t have a value unless you understand what it is for; it needs to be associated with something. However, Hindus would argue that karma is not seen as a punishment; it is just bearing out the karmic fruits…

    Let’s talk Buddhism; Buddhism is a widespread Asian religion/philosophy founded by Siddhartha Gautama in north east India in the 5th century BC. Buddhism is divided into many a number of traditions. They have three main practices that are divided into groups. The first one is called Sila wich consists of virtue, good conduct, and morality. Sila also teaches the principles of equality. The second goes by the name of Samadhi, Samadhi teaches concentration, meditation, mental development, and being able to control your own mind. And the last is called Prajna, Prajna is considered the heart of Buddhism wich emerges when your mind is calm and pure. Like Christianity, Buddhism has something that is similar to the Bible, but is separated into volumes because of how many teachings, sayings, and proverbs that it consists of. They have Sutras wich have recorded saying of Buddha wich are then collected into cannons known as the Tripitaka, or 3 baskets. Also like Christianity, Buddhism ha the five precepts wich are like the Ten Commandments in the Bible. The five precepts are do not kill, do not steal, don’t lie, don’t misuse sex, and don’t consume alcohol or drugs. One of the things that they firmly believe in is reincarnation.
